Risk Rating 2.0: What Floodplain Managers Need to Know

Join us for the 2.5-hour online workshop Risk Rating 2.0: What Floodplain Managers Need to Know for an in-depth discussion on this new flood insurance rating methodology. Presented by FEMA, in cooperation with the ASFPM Flood Insurance Committee, ASFPM is making this program available to all ASFPM members. We’re offering the same workshop at three different times to ensure that all members who want to attend, will be able to do so.

Even if you’ve attended one of FEMA’s Risk Rating 2.0 webinars for insurance companies or agents being offered throughout the summer and fall, you will want to attend this program. It was developed specifically for ASFPM members and will include issues that are most important to state and local floodplain management practitioners. It will also provide 2 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) for Certified Floodplain Managers.

Starting October 1, Risk Rating 2.0 fundamentally changes the way FEMA rates a property’s flood risk and prices insurance. The new methodology incorporates more flood risk variables to more accurately reflect a property’s individual flood risk, including flood frequency, multiple flood types—river overflow, storm surge, coastal erosion and heavy rainfall—and distance to a water source along with property characteristics such as elevation and the cost to rebuild.

Learning objectives: As a floodplain manager, increasing your understanding of Risk Rating 2.0 is important to our collective efforts to help educate community members, dispel any myths, and increase participation in the program.

By attending this workshop, you will:

• Receive an overview of Risk Rating 2.0
• Understand the key differences you need to know between the old and new rating systems
• Gain in-depth knowledge on the key rating variables affecting the new rates

Presenter: Shilpa Mulik, Program Specialist, Floodplain Management Division, FEMA
